There's like laugh out loud awfulness in S8, especially the finale.
I've heard about the finale back there, had a sad...
Not sure I want to tarnish my love for first two seasons by watchin' the inferior one's.

he was 4. One was the whole murder mom mystery, two was the bayside butcher where they found the ocean graveyard, three Dexter had someone that wanted to kill bad guys too that would help Dexter cover up his murders and then 4 was the Trinity Killer, which people consider that to be the best season, I feel like it gets that because of that gut punch final scene,
I personally still like season one more.

I liked season 5 and 6, they were ok but man did Deb and Dex get weird in the end. you could watch seasons 1-4 and stop there honestly. I loved the first 4 seasons, season one is a 10/10 to me, some of the best television you could watch.

Watch at least the first season of Dexter. It's great.

I remember watching the first episode just as a lark wondering how a show about a serial killer would appeal to people, and I was hooked! I told my wife (girlfriend at the time) about it and she was very hesitant because she's squeamish, and then she got hooked! Outstanding storytelling in that first season.

The last couple of seasons of Dexter - and the last season especially - are so bad that they almost make you forget that it was ever any good at all.

If Dexter had put on a leather jacket and water-skied over a shark it wouldn't have looked out of place. In fact one of the last shots wasn't far off it.

To be honest, as good as Lithgow was, the show should've ended after season 2.

Sopranos was ballsy but understandably frustrating to a lot of fans.

I'm a Lost fan and love that ending but I get why a lot of people don't.

The Dexter ending is like the monkey scene in Crystal Skull. You were pretty sure it wasn't going to be great, but you never thought it would get THAT bad.

Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil - hadn't seen this in years. I love a movie or show that really captures a place while telling the story and this one does it wonderfully. Plus Cusack, a Kevin Spacey that's not always screaming his face off, a fabulous tranny sidekick, and voodoo. Everything a good crime story needs!

Yeah, I can't recall the site but they really analyze shot for shot of the final scene and make it very obvious what went down went it cut to black. I'm fully happy with the ending and if you pay attention to the vacation scene with Tony and Bobby in the boat, they tell you exactly what the ending was.

During the final scene, Tony looks up and the camera goes to his view very deliberately over and over, to hammer it home you see what's happening through his eyes. Then, it cuts to black after he looks up one more time. Even the "Member's Only" jacket guy said in the script that he walks from the bathroom to Tony's table, I assume off camera.

It's a great run-down, props to the author. It makes me think on how much of that show just went over my head for lack of awareness and attention to detail.

Not bad at all. I thought it was imaginative, told a decent origin story, and had some decent action. Obviously I’m not their target audience but I think any kid 9-11 years old would enjoy the movie. Jackman was great, and the kid was ok. The guy playing Hook was…odd. He was totally hamming it up, as a cross between Karl Urban’s Dr. McCoy and Han Solo specifically from ROTJ. If he would have toned it down, he would have been fantastic. As written, the character was great—the best Han Solo derivative character I’ve seen in a long time. Some dodgy CGI here and there, but the flying boats were really cool. It’s a shame the movie has gotten so quickly dismissed. If you have kids, give it a chance with them.

My biggest issue (which isnt really a big deal) is the connection of his travels. It was too random at times and even the finale felt like that.

Started off fairly interesting, but got boring mid-way through. As much as I think McAvoy Can be a good actor, he really hams it up in too many of his movies, and this one is no exception. There might have been a good movie in there somewhere, but the Director lost his way. Charles Dance is wasted in a one scene role, years ago, I imagine he could have made a good Dr. Frankenstein in his own right. Also, I think the Director suffers from whatever syndrome that afflicts Guy Ritchie.

This is Radcliffes movie, and he is decent in it, but often gets over-shadowed by McAvoy.

Trance was okay, I think his best performance in recent years was probably Filth or the Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, but both of those movies are also only okay in my opinion. His body of work is certainly not as impressive as Fassbender’s, I’d like to see him do more.

I too thought all along that Wright would have made a much better movie, even though I thoroughly enjoyed Ant Man. But after having read that article, I'm not entirely convinced it would have been better per se.

Anyway, finally saw Cap: Civil War: 9/10

Maybe an 8.875/10. I thought it was great, but I think Winter Soldier *just* edges it out. Definitely among the very best of the Marvel movies, of which I consider WS, CW and the first Iron Man to be on top. I loved how well drawn all the characters were. Even though I liked both of Whedon's Avengers, it does feel like the characters are a little bit of a caricature of who they really are. In the Russo movies, all the characters feel like 100% real people. That's a huge factor for my enjoyment with these comic book movies.

A 1966 Japanese supernatural, monster movie, with a plotline that's similar to a Zatoichi film. I guess it should be worth nothing, that the director, Kimiyoshi Yasuda, also directed several entries to the Zatoichi series.

As for the plot itself, poor villagers are being oppressed by a lord who usurped his master, and then a giant stone monster (aka. a dude in a plaster suit) shows up to save the day. The monster design was terribly cheap, and the movie isn't anything special, at all. However, the acting was fairly decent in some instances. I thought that the performances from the "bad guys" were substantially better than the "heroes" - who were powerless, annoying, and idiotic at best.

No kidding. But, the real history of Wallace is even more gruesome than what was shown in the film. He was hung, drawn and quartered.

Middle ages torture is the thing of nightmares. I can't help but think of Mozgus in Berserk, which would use torture to "purify" people :lol

Yeah...that's why I can't like him. My heroes can get tortured like Robocop, but then they have to somehow avenge their tragedy. If they ever do a sequel to Braveheart and Wallace returns a zombie or something and kills all the bad guys, then I'll be a fan.

Well, Braveheart was a historically-based film, so a happy ending for the character was never going to happen. William Wallace may have died like a dog, but he inspired generations of people. He's a big national hero in Scotland, too.

No, no, Wallace did keep his balls. He lost just about everything else though. According to the voiceover at the end of the movie, his head was set on London Bridge and his limbs were sent to all four corners of Britain.

Batman Begins.

Let's get a few things clear- Bale isn't my favorite Batman, (that honor goes to Kevin Conroy and Keaton) and I really dislike Nolan's style of pretentious storytelling, but as a film, this has a lot to pull people into Batman even if they're not into superheroes. Taking cues from Batman: Year One, this is a near perfect introduction to the character.

Yeah it definitely reinvigorated the character. Although the ultra realistic real world take I think watered down Batman a lot. Which is why I love the Arkham series so much, since it's a real world take while still having that comic flavored reality.

They got Affleck who looks like he jumped out of the Arkham games, but they had him all angry and murderin'. I just hope that the next set of movies will embrace the fantastical elements of the comics like BTAS and the games did. And no murderin'.

And Ford Oscar-worthy? Maaaaybe. Listen, I LOVE the man. I grew up without a father and he was the closest thing I had to a father figure (very sad, I know!).

I won't deny that Ford gave up a bit with the acting, but any look at movies like Witness and (especially) Mosquito Coast, shows that he definitely has the chops.

I think his last big swing for an Oscar was Regarding Henry, but I'm glad that such an obvious and trite movie didn't win any.

"My Left Foot" is a film about a bloke called Daniel Day Lewis, who's all mental, except for his left foot, right, but, and he has arguments - I can't remember it - he has an argument with his dad or something, I can't remember, I wasn't watching it properly, but, even though he's mental apart from the foot, he does stuff with the foot, that we can do all over, he uses that to his best, I think he might write a book or something, or paint. And the moral of this story is, you know, even if you've only got a foot that works, you can still win prizes, cause it won the Oscar.

Fury - 6/10. Great until the ridiculous ending. Did the whole German SS Battallion forget how to fight just because Brad Pitt was defending the tank? Otherwise good. Loved the Tiger Tank taking on 4 Shermans battle scene.

I'm just teasing man. Yes, taste in movies in subjective. I have plenty of cheese in my collection, but I love it.

We laughed most of the way through it

My girlfriend and I got all worked up and ready to be hot and bothered and we ended up laughing as well and it did the opposite effect of what we were expecting.

I don't understand how some of you guys can rate these movies above a 7/10.......you are way too easily entertained.
Personally if its greater than a 7/10, it should be a film you will re watch multiple times...anything above an 8/10 should be considered a classic....

If your using the scale correctly, there would only be a handful of films to receive a 10/10....in all film making history....(Example: The Godfather, Jaws, Back to the Future ...etc etc)

Civil War 7.8/10

Very good characters, story and effects. Nice direction and acting, good score.......rewatchability......7/10

Rain Man

Rain Man, it’s got Tom Cruise in it, and he’s alright, he’s normal, but he finds out he’s got a brother who’s a bit mad – Dustin Hoffman is doing it, right? And he’s meant to be - he’s all weird but he’s meant to be, so it’s good acting. Now, he – oh, God – he needs to keep his brother but they don’t want him to have a brother and he doesn’t remember a lot but he dropped him in the bath and burnt him when he was little – clumsy idiot.

But then he finds out he can make a bit of money so they get the same suits, and they go bet two for good, one - cause he’s got special powers. So he can know what the - where the- roulette. He wins that, and he drops some toothpicks – he knows how many there are. AND he recognizes the waitress through the book. He’s got all his football cards - don’t put them out of order, don’t go into a telephone box with him – he smells, and get him back in time for Jeopardy or watch it.

Anyway, then they slap his head and get worried - "Qantas don’t crash" - so he’s got all that, and in the end, he doesn’t, I don’t think, but they were - at least they’ve met each other.

9/10

X-Men: Apocalypse - 6.5/10 - Been there, done that. :dunno

The Last Witch Hunter - 5/10 - For the most part boring. You get to watch several scenes of Caine sleeping....

The Man with the Golden Gun - 6/10 - The ending showdown/climax was great, but the rest of the movie dragged too much.

The Spy Who Loved Me - 8.5/10 - This one has it all. Lots of action, great music, a Bond that just blows everyone away and chocked full of hawt chicks. Valerie Leon :monkey5 My third favorite behind Casino Royal and Octopussy.

Actually when it comes to rating scale it isn't.....or shouldn't be.

http://www.n8henrie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/normal67.gif

The point of rating a movie or anything for that matter on a SCALE is for comparability...if its subjective to your emotion at the time of viewing only....well, its not much of a scale now is it?

Try to imagine only rating movies while your drunk, and never actually thinking about if the film actually stands up as good when you sober up.

With all the 8 and 9 out of 10's on this thread...I can only assume many of you are drunk. (or not really thinking about it much).

I would give Citizen Kane a 10, but have probably only seen it 3 times. . .just because something is great doesn't mean you need to watch it over and over. I don't care for Frozen, but have seen it about 30 times.

The Nice Guys ... 8/10. Really entertaining.

Double Indemnity. 10/10. One of the greatest film noir movies ever made. With Fred McMurray, of all people.

John Wick ... 7/10. Solid revenge movie. Cool fight scenes.

Illegal (1955). 8/10. Edward G. Robinson courtroom movie. I've been trying to watch some old stuff on TCM. I liked it a lot.

The Man from UNCLE. 8/10. Felt like one of the Connery Bond movies. Really stylish spy movie, and interesting to see the genre kicked back into the 60s. Didn't actually see the last half hour (I fell asleep ... not a commentary on the movie, it was late), but I really liked the rest. I hope they make a sequel.

Damn right...or maybe I am not as easily entertained as some people? I know alot of people will watch just about anything...especially if its got T&A , bad jokes or lots of action and death......that's obvious from American culture. (just look at the TV line ups).

Myself I prefer, plot, character development, pacing, score, editing , acting, directing, effects, and the combinations of them to tell a cohesive story that entertains, educated or moves me....

So I guess people are free to rate anything anyway they want....

Yep ....
John Wick 10/10! Just as good as Star Wars!
Deadpool .....Awesome, better than Shawshank Redemption. (why cause it entertained me for 2 hours)
Hot Tub Time Machine....INCREDIBLE FILM! Much better than It's a Wonderful Life!!!!

No wonder Hollywood can produce such crap every year.....when people accept it as good entertainment....

Scale or not, it's always subjective, even from a critical POV.

You can have a "scale" and still give away 9's and 10's like it's candy, it just means your threshold is wider, for whatever reasons.

I have to agree with Xipotec in that it seems lots of people seem to give away super high scores way too easy, but it's their right.

I rate most everything I review pretty high ... because (1) I'm unlikely to waste my time seeing a movie I don't figure will be a 7 or higher, and (2) a 9 or 10 is just a movie I'd want to see again a few times, not an exclusive category only bestowed on an artistic masterpiece. If I liked it a lot, it's a 9 or 10. If I liked it, it's a 7 or 8. If I thought it was alright, it's a 5 or 6. I also don't use decimals, because no arbitrary movie rating system is that precise.

I don't view them as artistic works, I view them as entertainment. If I'm entertained, I'm likely to score it high -- whether it was T&A entertainment, or a groundbreaking work of entertainment. Because ... mission accomplished. If I wasn't entertained, I'm likely to score it low ... even if everybody swears this thing has artistic merit. Because unentertaining movies with 'artistic merit' failed the primary question worth asking in a review ...
